​The Anglo-Saxon Gold Mine is located on Private Property and situated on Lot. 17 in the sixth concession of Madoc Township, Hasting County District, Ontario, Canada. The property was first discovered and prospected at the time of the Richardson Gold Mine in 1867, and had comprised of 84 acres of land. It was also at this time when a patent was obtained from the crown and four prospect shafts were sunk. Each of these shafts were determined to have produce significant amounts of gold and silver in pay quantities. Gold which was mined from the Richardson Gold Property was mainly taken from crevices that were access by shafts. Two important figures who had developed plans for these sites were Mr. Charles Robb, who was a mining engineer, and Andrew Whyte who was an experience Mining Superintend. Charles Robb and Andrew Whyte were both experience mining officials who had came to work in Hasting during the outbreak of the Eldorado Gold Rush.

Plans were also officially made in regards to developing a crushing and amalgamation milling facility that was made of wood and limestone. This would result in installing the required mining machinery that was contracted to Mr. E.E. Gilbert, of the Canadian Engine Works. As development continued the milling facility was officially completed and place into operation on April, 1868. Prior to this development, the Anglo-Saxon Gold Mining Company had a total capitalization $125,000 shares, and had been divided into 25,000 shares of the par value of $5 each share.

Reports that were made by Mr. Charles Robb, had also been directed to the President and Directors of the Anglo-Saxon Gold Mining Company in 1868. Reports from Mr. Charles Robb had stated that the Anglo-Saxon Gold Mine Property was examined during the winter months. This included observing rock exposures and adjacent properties that included several trial shafts that were sunk on the Moore Farm Property. These properties at the time had all adjoined the Anglo-Saxon Gold Mining Company's properties in Eldorado, Ontario, Canada. It was also at this time when observations were made in regards to following up on the Richardson auriferous veins that tends to a point on the Anglo Saxon Gold Mining Company property to the north. Prospecting was also taking place which resulted in determining that the Anglo Saxon property had good values in gold and silver. Gold which is associated within this region is known to commonly known to occur in a matrix of Ferruginous dolomite with spar, associated with quartz and feldspar. The enclosing rocks is also made up of Chloritic schist on one end and a thin band of talcoid slate on the other. Gold distribution at the time was rather reported to have been distributed and worked through the breath of dolomite, but was more concentrated in certain lines or leads (Quartz). With this had rather formed fissures that decomposed several mineral chemical compositions through the process of disturbance in the coarse strata.

Various portions of the Richardson and Moor Hills were widely being explored and prospected. These two hill were also reported to have two parallel undulations or upheavals of the strata, which dips in the opposite directions on either side of their respective axes. The north side of the company's property had also been traversed by the same calcite-quartz veining that followed from the Richardson Mine Site. Much of the ground that made up the Anglo-Saxon Gold Property had been mainly on low ground, but it was to the north-east angle where the elevation of the property had rise to thirty or forty feet, over an area of five acres. Test pitting of this ground was done by the use of Costeens and trial pits, showing similarity to the Richardson Mine. it was also reported that sinking of the shaft further would also increase the conditions of the mine site. To the south of the company's property, it was also stated that the area comprises of a much greater elevated ground than the northern portion. With this observation it was reported to have the same connections to the quartz-calcite veins had followed downward from the Moore Farm to the Anglo Saxon Gold Property. The mine is rather located on the opposite side of the Richardson and Moore Ridge, and near what is commonly referred as Mudd Lake. Most of the ground located around the small village of Eldorado is rather known to be extremely encouraging for the potential of Au-Ag-Cu mineralization along with other mineral compositions. This potential indicates that the calcite-quartz veins are commonly known to stretch for a total strike length of over 1km.

Most of the work that was done on the Mudd Lake Property is considered to have been exploratory in nature. Within this time period, the work was commonly confined to the elevated ground at the north-east part of the Anglo-Saxon Property. It was also for a distance of 220 yards when four trial test pits were sunk between depths of five to twenty feet into the dolomitic rock, in all which gold was found in very promising proportions. It was at the opening of the No. 1 pit, it was reported to have been in direct course from the Richardson Mine Property, and had carried fine gold distributed though it. At about 12 feet a crevice is known to occur that's partially filled with decomposed quartz and Ochreous matter, that somewhat resembles that at the Richardson Mine. This Stratum was describe to have been visible, and is only from six to eight inches thick and lies at low angles to the horizon, dipping to the north. Further reports by the engineering geologist had reported this section to become wider and richer while following the dip. From this report the underlying solid rock of this stratrum is known to also be well charged for a considerable thickness, with gold, which is easily detected by washing. Reports on this opening had also stated that it was the same opening which was first examined b Mr. Michel, who had been commissioned to investigate the subject on behalf of the Government, and were among the few discoveries made that were worthy of reporting.

Shaft No. 2, is rather located thirty yards S 020 degrees W, from the former and had been sunk to a depth of 22 feet through highly metalliferous dolomite, seamed with quartz veins. The rocks in this general area are known to appear from this shaft, had gave off values of $12 to $18 per ton in gold and silver. Pit No. 3 is situated one hundred yards south-west of the No. 2, was sunk ten feet on the vein of quartz eighteen inches thick, and had ran nearly east and west, which descends perpendicularly, and carried notable proportions of gold with it. Pit No. 4 was sunk seventy-five yards W. 025 degrees S from No. 3 Pit, and was excavated 5 feet in rock. It was on this portion of the property that the pit had lied horizontally, but much disturbed, and with distinct traces of talcoid matter. Upon examination and the taking of several specimens a layer of quartzoze dolomite fifteen inches thick, had become very promising that also show values of gold that was washed out. It was at this point in time when a conclusion was made by the engineering geologist who had reported that further development should be undertake on the property followed by the construction of an amalgamated mill and crusher. Much of the property was also known to have considerable supply of wood for the purpose of fuel, building and all purposes connected with mining. Water supply was also not short as it could be directly obtained from Mudd Lake, which extends on the east side of the Anglo-Saxon Property. For the most part, this had provided the much need necessities in order to operate a gold mining project within 1867. The main vein zone at this time was additionally followed for a distance of 15 feet, which had not change in the thickness, but had a perceptible alteration in the dip. From the point where the vein was first followed, it had been 0.05 degrees, and would additionally change between eight or nine degrees. Between the other layers there was also a quantity of quartz and decomposed iron, which all had contained fine gold, and was easily discovered by washing it out. Even historical drilling that was most likely done by hand crank drills had fine gold values associated with it as the holes were being prepared for blasting in the dolomite rock. At about eighty feet south-west, the Anglo-Saxon Gold Mining Company had also sank a shaft to a depth of 22 feet, with a view to strike the quartz vein at this depth. It was at this point when the vein had suddenly dipped more than it was calculated on, and had required deepening of the shaft to greater depths. Much of the dolomite from the shaft was also notice to have carried gold grades of $12 to $18 per ton of rock treated at this time.

Prospecting at the time had also discovered another quartz vein that was found on western portion of the Ridge. With this taking place the company had decided to drill one hole in order to blast an opening in this section of the ridge that was in dolomite. After the blast a handful of quartz material was taken from this section of the operation in order to be washed and it to had shown the quantity of gold values associated with it. Plans were additionally made for further development of the Anglo-Saxon Gold Mine Property during this time period.
